Suicide Of a Youns woman.
ESPECIAL TO THE sENT1sEL.l

SAN Francisco, Jan. 10.-An investiga.
tion tends to show that the woman whose
body was found near the Park this after
noon. committed suicide by taking poison,
and that the bruised appearance of her
face was caused by her contortions after
she had fallen to the ground. A small
bottle was found by her aide with 3 yellow
ish liquid. that was judged to be prussic
acid or cyanide OF potassium, both violent
poisons. An autopsy will be made to-mor-
row. No bullet wound was found on her
person, and the pistol has no appearance
OF having been recently discharged.

The Editor Vacated.

The PensdcoIian is always ready to receive any
and all visitors who may think enough OF rs to
call, but last Monday visitor called on US the
very remembrance OF whom chis our young
blood and makes each particular hair stand on
end like quilts upon the fretfu porcupine. We
will relate it as it happened to us. Last Mon
day afternoon as we were costly seated in our
sanctum interviewing the columns Of our ex-
changes with the editor in chief in our hand we
we were called by the devil to take look alta
canine of the genus cur, whose peculiar antics
had attracted his attention. We put down the
editOr-in-chief and peered out of the southwest
window of the Office and saw a spotted cur dog
foamng al the mouth and his eyes looked IS
green as an emerald. He skunk alongside OF the
fence opposite our Office with his tail between
his legs anc showing every sign of dog IN the
first stages of hydrophoba. Seeing our sanclum
window opened, with bound he was inside.
Just as he rose for leap in the window we rose
for leap out of the other window, and just as
he lii into our sanctum we lit into lntendencla
street. 1t Is needless to say the dog was
master OF the situation, as we had no ambition
10 achieve an enviable nOtoriety by taking IMP
TO Paris to see Pasteur After some OF the more
c ;Irageous of the Pensdcolidn force had tried IN
vain to induce his dogship to leave, ef1cer e'oI,
don was called upon to use his 3Scalbre pun
dog, and not until five bullets had entered his
body did the canine gite up the ghost
We used to like dogs; we despise them no"
and we will do all in our power TO see that tDe
dog laws are enforced. We are an enemy hence
forth to the canine breed.-Psnsdc0Ia Pensac0''""'

A CONFEDERATE OFFICERS BURIAL-THEN AND
Now-MEMoRIAL DAY RETRosPEcTIoN.
Recently, Confederate veterans, tog ether with
United States soldiers, participated in the burial
OF an ex. Confederate oficer-General Loring,
of Florida.
His dead body lay under the two flags"
one furled amid the folds of the other. The
of the Second Florida Regiment Before II was
fnrled forever, the death and burial of Colonel
Ward of that regiment, took place.
He, also, lay dead under the two flags, {"
but their folds did not touch. Both set of SOL
diers stood around his bier but not side by side.
Before the battle ended at Williamsburg, Col
Ward was numbered among the slain. Capt.
Call, Lieuts Fleming, Brandt. Floyd, DeCOttes
and Cooper made up q volunteer party that
went forward under fire to try and get the
body for interment, but did not succeed. After
night-fall, however, the dead Colonel was
brought into camp but there was no time then

the army WAS moving. On his breast was

So, sadly they left him.
The morrow dawned Far from the home
that he loved lay the dead Florida hero. The
other flag waived above him the other soldiers

Apalachicoa Times]
In 1853 years ago-the town OF Apalach-
icola was settled, and her lots surveyed and
placed upon the market Soon a large and
f1ourishng city sprang up on what was at one
time bowling wilderness, the home of the
red-skin and beast OF prey. For upwards of
twenty years prosperity reigned upon every
hand. Everybody had money enough TO live
upon and some to put away for rainy day
The streets were at all times literally covered
with bags of cotton, casks of meat and sugar,
barrels of flour and merchandise of all descrip-
TONS Steamers were rushing to and fro upon
our river, and seagoing vessels lined our wharves
and filled up our bay-all engaged in handling
commerce amounting TO millions of dollars in
value In the midst of this busy time large
brick and wood buildings reared their heads
above US, filled with stores OF countless wealth.
Congresses were shrieking here, steamer whs-
ties there and in the midst of this busy hum
everybody was happy and prosperous Each
person was working in the busy hive and ex-
tracing a sufficiency of the honey therefrom.
Then came the war, crushing down our indus
tries, our life and our all and everything was
soon, almost at a stand-stll. The war ended.
Peace once more smiled upon US. Our people
went to work again, and for short while the busy
scenes of the days before the war were enacted,
over again. But the foundations of our commerce
Aucduy uHutImluucu, were gradually OeC1yi0S,
and at last the whole fell with crash. Al first
the awful event could not be realized, but as
capital soon began TO disappear followed later
by the Drawn and muscle, the realization be-
came vivid that it could not be mistaken.
Soon our warehouses; and immense storehouses
were closed up and deserted Dwellings that
cost thousands of dollars to build were left ten
antless, and in many instances given rent free
to any that chose to occupy them The popu-
lation gradually dwindled down to mere hand
full. aud the place finally, like ancient Tyre, be-
came place where fishermen hung up their
nets to dry. No employment Was offered until
in 1872 when the first mill was erected
here. No real prosperity visited the town until
about 1881, when attention was once more d.
reced here, and the many advantages of loca-
ton pointed out and impressed upon the people
throughout the country. Since that time there
has been a gradual but steady improvement in
every branch Of trade, until to-day the town is
ranked among the most prosperous in the coun-
try, An opportunity to again become CONNER
pass. We have had enough of the ancient Tyre,
we want more Of the ante-bellum kind. The
past has been an awful experience to many Of
our citizens, and it should be lesson. Let
every citizen strive to build up the town on a
solid footing peopled by manufactures and
population Of brains and wealth. Let us make
another grand effort to regain our former status
Now that the opportunity is offered let us keep
the town afioat and sink or swim with her.

OF which we are very small part, we shall take

We are satisfied with the condition of things.

erm Railroad.

COL M. F. Miller, Chief Engineer, arrived this
week with his surveying corps of thirteen mem
bers who had been in the field for nearly
month, having left Gainesville on the 18th of
May. The route located will be, with few
minor changes, the line of the Gainesville, ITALIA
hassee and Western Railroad The distance is
enc hundred and fifty miles, and the country gen.
orally favorable to railroad construction. The
track will cross the Steinhatcbie on a natural
bridge The settlements along the line are Fort
Clarke, Franklin, Fayetteville, Salem and Perry,
number which will be rapidly multiplied when
the road 10 built, as in every case where road
is run through new country in Florida. Espe-
cially will it be 90 in this instance, as the road
will doubtless be the avenue of an amount of
travel perhaps unequalled by that over any
other in the State, If not in the South. Major
N R. Gruele, who has taken the contract for
constructing the whole road, will leave in few
days TO attend a stockholders meeting in Bos-
ton. Work will be commenced in July, and the
reputation Of the contractor as q rapid railroad
builder is assurance that he will push it to COM
pletion quickly The work will be commenced
at the Gainesville end of the line.
